Entrepreneurs Meet Early-Stage Investors in Silicon Valley

 FundingPost introduces local venture capitalists to early-stage companies

    SILICON VALLEY, Calif., May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 29, FundingPost
(http://www.FundingPost.com) is hosting a panel discussion with leading
Angel Investors at its "Silicon Valley Early-Stage Venture Investing"
event, hosted by the City of Menlo Park. FundingPost has created a unique
niche because while most Investor events deal with Venture Capitalists and
later-stage investors, this event allows early-stage companies a chance to
meet local early-stage Private Investors known as "Angel" Investors and
Seed-stage Venture Capitalists. For more information about this event, the
FundingPost Event Calendar and registration information are available
online: http://www.FundingPost.com/events.asp
    After hosting a highly successful series of Angel Investing events for
four years, FundingPost is continuing this proven formula again this year.
The panelists for the event include:
    -- Richard Irving, Managing Partner, Pond Venture Partners
    -- Andrew Braccia, Accel Partners
    -- Tom McKinley, Managing Partner & Co-Founder, Partech International
    -- Robert McNeil, Ph.D., Managing Director, Sanderling Ventures
    -- John Hall, General Partner & Co-Founder, Horizon Ventures
    -- Edward Esber, Jr., Member, The Halo Fund
    -- Ben Dubin, Asset Management Company
    -- Igor Sill, Managing Director, Hambrecht Geneva Ventures
    -- Ravi Belani, Associate, Draper Fisher Jurvetson
    Following the breakfast presentation, two companies will have the
opportunity to "pitch" to the entire panel of investors. "It's a fantastic
opportunity for an early-stage company to spend 20 minutes pitching a room
full of early-stage Investors," said Joe Rubin, Director, FundingPost.
"Seed- stage VCs are always on the lookout for great ideas, and FundingPost
is proud to provide a forum for them to locate promising new ventures."
